It says in the article that ONE sniper shot can take out the shield generator, so that's like 3 or 4 MA shots, I don't think it's that bad. Of course, taht doesn't answer how much armor the thing will have.
I believe it'll be like this...
Infantry take out the shield generator
Vehicles take out the armor.
The BFR is best suited for anti vehicle, though.
